I support supporting girl scouts and their fundraising, but I don’t want high calorie, unhealthy cookies. The cookies make me feel sugar sick.
No one wants to be a girl scout anymore. They aren’t willing to put on their boots and go door to door with an m16 and threaten people anymore. This ain’t no socialist cookie. You have to be willing to do the hard work.
Can confirm. My daughter just got her M4A1 badge and a “broom” badge for learning how to sweep the perimeter.
“aggressive” is missing a “g.” News makes spelling mistakes, memers make more, dunno
Did you see it also misses an “s” ?
You may be right.it was in a collection of headline mistakes, and this is shitpost, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re a real one o7
Christ, I’ll buy the cookies already. Ya got Thin Mints?
Nah, miss me with that. Call me when they turn into Women Scouts and got those Thicc Mints. Mmm…
That’s their lesser-known offshoot, Girl Special Forces
Ive heared they are planning for a even more agressive sales campaign
Something about “long range ,high speed air to ground cookie delivery”
FPV cookie delivery when?
They don’t even go door-to-door anymore, not in my area at least.
They always just set up camp in the parking lot outside some store … usually a store that also sells cookies, cheaper ones with more variety.
I saw a flyer with a QR code on it to order girl scout cookies.
At this point, I think the girls are kind of unnecessary in their whole cookie-selling business and could probably be replaced by AI agents.
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to send a bunch of girls door to door in America these days.
Beside the whole free labor issue, it only takes 1 sicko to ruin everything…
Probably a safety related change
Yeah they haven’t gone door to door in decades where I live. I can’t remember is they ever did actually.
Sometimes at work a Girl Scout parent will ask you to buy some. I remember buying cans of nuts though, not cookies. And yeah they set up a little table by the entrance to a grocery store. Some people say they like certain types of their cookies, which they apparently can’t get at the grocery store which also sells many cookies. I don’t like cookies and so I don’t know shit about cookies. But that’s where they sell them.
My brother sold nuts through Boy Scouts, and they now call themselves Scouting America so that girls can be involved, so maybe that’s where the nuts came from? I don’t think I’ve heard of any Girl Scout troop not selling cookies; it’s a big deal and the main fundraising for activities. Unfortunately.
My mom is an accountant, used to do auditing for the state. The leader of my girl scout troop asked her to be the treasurer of the troop one year. Turn out, the leader had been embezzling our cookie money, like, the whole time. It wasn’t even well covered-up. Took my mom all of two seconds to figure it out.
Gross. One thing I heard from my parents as well as generally on the internet is that the Girl Scouts have waaaay less national support from the organization than Scouting America. As in, they have way fewer resources and can’t afford to provide a lot of support for individual troops. So I can’t say I’m surprised. Part of me thinks it’s a gendered issue; part of me thinks it’s because BSA/SA have Mormon support; maybe there are also some other factors. But it has always rubbed me the wrong way that Girl Scouts get shafted.
Yay child labor?
